Benin 1000 francs Football World Cup in the USA Player proof silver coin 1992

The Benin 1000 Francs 1992 “Football World Cup USA” silver coin is a remarkable Proof issue celebrating the XV FIFA World Cup, which was held in the United States in 1994. The reverse features a dynamic image of a football player in action, captured mid-kick as he strikes the ball with power and precision. Behind him rises the silhouette of a modern city skyline, symbolizing the American host nation. The inscriptions read “ETATS-UNIS D’AMERIQUE”, “COUPE MONDIALE”, “XVe”, and the dates 1992–1994, along with République du Bénin, emphasizing both the issuing country and the event’s significance. The obverse displays the coat of arms of Benin, upheld by two heraldic leopards. The shield is quartered with symbolic emblems: a star, palm tree, castle, and ship, surmounted by buffalo horns. The state motto “Fraternité – Justice – Travail” appears on a banner, together with the denomination of 1000 Francs CFA. Struck in sterling silver with a refined Proof finish, this coin stands as a tribute to one of the world’s most important sporting events, blending athletic energy with numismatic artistry. A must-have for collectors of football memorabilia and themed silver issues.
